Space Cell by CiaranW

Build your own asteroids!
Controls
WASD to move, space to shoot, shift to swap between build & fight mode.
(alt controls are arrows to move, ctrl to shoot, tab/alt to swap modes)
In build mode, collect loot and drag components onto your ship with the mouse!
In fight mode, defend with your shield, dash and shoot around with your thrusters!
Overview
- Attach GUNS for extra firepower against the incoming meteors.
- Attach THRUSTERS for more maneuverability and speed.
- Attach REACTORS for extra shield power.
- Attach STORAGE to hold more loot.
- Collect green LOOT for eternal glory.
- Protect your COCKPIT and CORE, or it's game over.
After being caught in the middle of a meteor storm, you're left deep in space with nothing but your cockpit and salvage core. Rebuild your ship with space scrap & collect more loot!
Development
Made in 48 hours for the LD Compo. My first time using Godot (or any game engine), and it was a very smooth experience! Great tool! I think I was a bit ambitious with the theme, and probably spent a bit too much time mucking about with particle effects. As always, I probably could have done with spending less time on the base mechanics, and more on polishing some structure into the game.
Tools:
- Engine: Godot
- Graphics: GIMP
- Sound: sfxr
Changelog
- Asteroids were not firing in the right direction (at the player) because of a coordinate system bug. now they are more accurate
- Following this change, I had to reduce the fire rate to tame the difficulty slightly
- Damage to the cockpit turned everything red, now only cockpit turns red
- Fix shields and guns still working after death
- Added 'shift' as an option for swap mode (for web build - alt acts strangely in firefox)
Please play in fullscreen and enjoy! :)
- Works best downloaded
- On web works best in firefox!
- On Chrome you have to close and reopen the tab after first load for some reason...

cool concept though, i can see some replayability and the graphics where appealing! all in all, neat game, but could use some polish
@kekkodude Did you fullscreen the window? Thanks for the feedback!
@zerptin Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
@inventivum-games Thanks for downloading it and trying it out! I appreciate the feedback :)
The web version seems not to have been so successful, it has totally differnt bugs on every PC and browser combo I test it on..
Thanks for playing!
The controls were a bit of a struggle between Mouse and WASD/Keyboard. If you develop beyond the jam, this could work well on just mouse , with the ship steering / shooting towards left click, then click/hold right to toggle build / collect mode . :)
